Your right Happy - would have been nice to see one of those chooks clocked, but alas Keiffy wouldn't punch a hole in a wet paper bag. He only lopes when taking the ball up to start with.

These young guys aren't going to do anything against a premiership winning side if the forwards don't stand up. Two weeks in a row. The backs have been decimated but it is the nearly full strength forwards that are the problem.

One good thing to look forward to in the next few years in light of the Pearce / Moses episodes last night.
Pearce will only be able to look on and see how much talent this kid has got and how much he hasn't got himself.

At the end of the game after a dismal second half display I expect them to hang their heads in shame..but what do we get players laughing and joking with the opposition team who just gave them a spanking....

We had a player get kicked in the chest , Pearce was treating Moses like his own bully boy ,JWH was getting in everyone's faces stirring crap

And not once , not once did the boys come in en masse to let the Roosters know we aren't going to cop this crap

I honestly wouldn't have cared if one or two players got sin binned last night , I just wanted to see a statement from the team as a whole

We are fighting for our finals hopes , we are fighting for our fans respect , we are fighting for our own self respect

Some players must be struggling to have hard long hard look in the mirror this morning

No wonder teams treat us like dirt and don't respect us

This wasn't happening 3 months ago

What has changed ??

your 100% right the forwards let the rooters man handle are young kids like the had a free pass to do so, no matter how bad things are going at the club, I was always told look after the kids when they came into the team. The young kids most be wondering why they are not getting any protection from the forwards. When the game was gone they could have at least got even with the rooters even if it meant going to the bin, at least we would have said enough is enough, but they dogged it.

At half time Fox filmed live the dressing rooms of each team. What really struck me was how much more animated and passionate the Roosters coach was compared to Mick Potter. Players get their vibes from the coach at half time and if the coach projects to his players any slight feeling of apathy unfortunately most players will follow suit.
